AdGuardHome configuration fails with Error: control/install/configure

[Jeffreyvanesch]

• [ ☑️] I am running the latest version: Yes, version installed from the Curl script on the GitHub wiki page.
• [ ☑️] I checked the documentation and found no answer: No documentation available for this specific issue, only an incomplete bug tracker.
• [ ☑️] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed: Yes.

Issue Details

When trying to install AdGuard Home on RHEL 8 using the Curl script, configuration of the listen IP addresses is not possible due to the following error: Error| control/install/check_config | Network Error

This error message occurs while going through the initial configuration (Step 2/5 Setting up the admin interface and DNS server interface listen address).

I can continue to step 3, after step 3 the following error appears again: Error: control/install/configure | Network Error and I'm being set back to step 2. This is an infinite loop that I'm stuck in.

So far, I've uninstalled and reinstalled AGH (Both Stable and Beta) via the script, but keep getting stuck on these errors.

@Jeffreyvanesch, thanks for the report! Are there any permission denied errors in the logs of the AdGuardHome service? Have you tried this solution from our Wiki? Fedora / RHEL will often have restrictive firewall and filesystem rules.

If that is the case, we must update the installation script to detect that and try to perform some of the setting, as well as informing the user about this.

Everyone who has similar issues, please consider adding the relevant information about your OS and installation procedure to your posts and use thumbs-up reactions on the original message instead of “+1” messages. Thanks.

[Lorkster]

I found the issue for me at least: It was the default port 80 used in the setup. Changing that made the rest of the setup work correctly. Would've helped to see a better error message or something in the logs!

Hey @ainar-g Thanks for the prompt reply, The logfile did not contain any 'Permission Denied' rules that would indicate problems with user rights.

As a precaution, I've successfully moved the whole AdGuardHome working directory from '/opt' to '/usr/local/bin', executed the command to change the security context, and disabled the entire Firewall. Unfortunately, this did not resolve it. Also, following the script in the wiki page didn't do the trick.

It should also be mentioned that one needs to adapt the AdGuardHome.service file to the new location of AGH, if it's not changed the service fails to start.

same issue ... After stopping web server its go normal and works, if change port different than 80 still not works The same happened if port 53 is used

@Jeffreyvanesch, @Nabhan87, @hristakiev, we suspect there is a bug introduced in #3835. We've just pushed the latest edge build that should fix the server crash and recover the error message. Could you please check if AGH installs properly now?

[Nabhan87]

@Jeffreyvanesch , @Nabhan87 , @hristakiev , kami menduga ada bug yang diperkenalkan di #3835 . Kami baru saja mendorong versi edge terbaru yang akan memperbaiki kerusakan server dan kesalahan pesan. Bisakah Anda memeriksa apakah AGH terpasang dengan benar sekarang?

yes, now AGH runs normally on Armbian OS 20.10 (tested buster and focal) the case I experienced was on Armbian OS 21.08.1 Focal, because AGH couldn't run properly so I used Armbian OS version 20.10. there seems to be a problem with the system os version 21.08.1

[hristakiev]

Yes, its working now. Thank you

@EugeneOne1 Unfortunately for RHEL 8 it's not working. It still shows the "Network error" fault message, this is regardless of what the installation directory is (/usr/local/bin/AdGuardHome or /opt/AdGuardHome).

[Mytonn]

Same issue with Debian 11. There was not any issue with Debian 10 but I faced this issue right after upgrade Deb 10 to Deb 11.

[amalcev]

Same issue while installing on Synology NAS (DSM 7) in Docker.

[EugeneOne1]

@Jeffreyvanesch, that's interesting. Could you please help us a bit more? Please run the AGH binary manually (not as a service) with -v flag, reproduce the , and sent us the log's output, either here or to the devteam@adguard.com.

[Jeffreyvanesch]

@EugeneOne1 Output of ' sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -l /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuard.log --verbose' attached to this reply.

AdGuard.log

[EugeneOne1]

@Jeffreyvanesch, well, judging by the first line of the log ([info] AdGuard Home, version v0.107.0), I can tell for sure you are using not the latest edge build. However, the actual bug the log expresses is just the one we've fixed yesterday, so I believe you need to update the AGH properly.

Here you can find the instructions on how to install the edge build via curl+sh. There you may also download the binary manually.

Could you please try it? To ensure the version of the build is the correct one, the first line of the log should be something like:

[info] AdGuard Home, version v0.108.0-a.12+201ef10d

[Jeffreyvanesch]

@EugeneOne1 I might have somehow overlooked the update script 😅 Removed the old AdGuard installation and replaced it with the Edge build, disabled the internal DNS as well as the virbridge interface because it was occupying port 53.

I can confirm that the edge build does not have this problem and is successfully running atm..

Let me know if you need anything else. If not consider this issue as resolved.

[EugeneOne1]

@Jeffreyvanesch, that's great! I'll close the issue for now. We're also plan to release a patch version containing the fix in the next week or two.

Thanks everyone for testing!

[ppfeufer]

Same issue with Debian 11. There was not any issue with Debian 10 but I faced this issue right after upgrade Deb 10 to Deb 11.

Had that as well after upgrading to Deb 11. Check if connman is running, it blocks port 53. Seems to be some new stuff with Deb 11. I had to stop and deactivate it, restart the machine and AdGuard was working again.

You can check which packages are listening on port 53 with:

sudo netstat -pna | grep :53

[amathews84]

I found the issue for me at least: It was the default port 80 used in the setup. Changing that made the rest of the setup work correctly. Would've helped to see a better error message or something in the logs!

Hello, what port did you change it to? My port 80 is used by my Reolink NVR. When I try to change to a different port I still get the same error.

For additional context here is what I'm seeing for port 53 and Port 80. Looks like Adguard is binding to Port 53 but another service is using Port 80 (I assume this is my NVR based on my router port forwarding settings)

For context here is the error that I continually get:

Attempting to set up on Raspberry pi 3b+.

[ppfeufer]

You already have a webserver (lighttpd) listening on port 80, so AdGuardHome can't listen there. Got the same issue with Apache for me, so I did set AGH's port to 8100 and proxied it with an Apache vhost config.

You don't have to proxy it, but then you need to add the port to the web address to open the web interface.

[amathews84]

Thank you! This worked for me perfectly. I am able to access the web dashboard interface now. Just a couple of questions:

1) When I assign the IP address of my pi as the DNS server in my router do I need to include the port number there as well?

2) Is 8100 an arbitrary number? I tried several other port numbers before that but it didn't work. The difference when I tried 8100 is I also restarted my Raspberry Pi so not sure if that made a difference. I ask because I want to create a second instance of Adguard Home to be my secondary DNS server and I don't know which port number I should use for it.

No, just the IP. The DNS server is listening on port 53, which is the default.

I ask because I want to create a second instance of Adguard Home to be my secondary DNS server and I don't know which port number I should use for it.

That's just a random port I threw in. It should work with pretty much every port you can come up with that is not already taken by any of the services. So a port in the higher range is usually good to use, something above 5000 is my general rule for custom ports.

[Mastahh]

Is there fix for this issue?

[EugeneOne1]

@Mastahh, should be fixed since v0.107.1. Doesn't it work?

Openwrt is still on 0.107.0-1, will wait when they migrate new version, thank you.
